If I could put in a simple manner the things I took from this book, they would be:

Start small and simple;

Hiring is not frightening as long as you have the patience and perseverance to find like-minded people;

Hire people that are like you;

Build a team, not a crowd of workers;

Treat your team members the way you would like to be treated;

Delegating without control is a disaster;

No victory comes fast or easy;

To say honestly, I was not a big believer in that “mission statement” thing. I often do hear the sentences: “Our mission statement is” such and such, “We have to have create a mission statement before we can be successful” and so on and so forth. I actually did not believe that such a “piece of paper with a bunch of gibberish in it” is of a significant importance to anyone. Dave Ramsey made me make up my mind. I still am not a huge believer but at least now I know what is its meaning and why it will come in handy at a certain moment.

I will recommend this book to anyone who is:

A kind of entrepreneur

Business owner

working in a company but wants to change something for the better

As a conclusion: I became a fan of Dave’s and I will subscribe for his podcast on that topic: the EntreLeadership podcast.
